Carnival Coronation To

Open Holiday Program

Pageant Will Take Place in j MONDAY CHAPEL POLL
Quadrangle Behind TO DETERMINE YEARLY
Forest Hall EXPENSE TO STUDENT

The crowning event in this year’s
Winter Carnival will be the opening
event, the Coronation. Held on Thurs¬
day evening. Feb. 10. before the annual
Carnival Ball, this feature witnesses
the coronation of the official king and
queen by Pres. Paul D. Moody.

The Coronation committee, headed
by Robert C. Anderson '40 and Barbara
Livingston '40, plan this year to hold
the coronation in the quadrangle be¬
hind Forest hall, instead of on Hep¬
burn hill, as last year.

Several new and original ceremonies
will be added this year to the affair,
according to Anderson. At 6:50, after
all the student observers have gath¬
ered in the space in back of Forest
where the coronation will take place,
the Mead Memorial chapel chimes will
be rung by James C. Smith '40. At 7
o'clock, four student trumpeters will
officially open the carnival with a fan¬
fare which heralds the aproach of the
Carnival king and queen and Presi¬
dent Moody.

As the coronation principles draw
up with their attendants, a lighting I
display will be effected with lights of I
Forest hall, and "MIDDLEBURY" will 1
be spelled out by the glowing windows
of the dormitory.

Next, the attendants of the king j
and queen will sing a special corona¬
tion melody. Then will occur the event
for which onlookers have been wait¬
ing—the coronation of the carnival
king and queen by President Moody. Af¬
ter the ceremony, king and queen will
be escorted to their thrones.

As their Majesties are seated, the
Freshman choir will sing, and "1939 j
CARNIVAL" will be spelled out in the
lights of Forest hall.

Then takes place the greatest inno- J

Week-end of Feb. 25 Set
For Sorority Initiations

Sorority initiations have been post¬
poned to the week-end of February 25,
according to Elizabeth M. Letson '39,
persident of the Panhellenic council.

Having the initiations at this time is
Intended to eliminate any difficultes
which might arise from a delay in re¬
ceiving grades. The ceremonies were
originally scheduled for next week-end.
Two weeks notice of the fulfillment
of requirements is necessary according
to several of the national offices.

Mrs. Ray H. Finger, grand secretary
of Pi Beta Phi, has been visiting the
Middlebury chapter this week. She ar¬
rived on Monday in time to be pres¬
ent at the supper preceding the regu¬
lar meeting on Monday night, and
has been having conferences with the
officers.

The CAMPUS will conduct a student
poll after chapel Monday to estimate
the average amount of money Middle¬
bury students spend on various ar¬
ticles.

Separate lists have been drawn up
for the men's and women’s colleges
which include comparable itmes of
expenditure. The students are asked
to indicate how much they spend for
The several items in a twelve month
period.

Articles which appear on both men’s
and women's list are the following:
clothing, books, (school), books (not
school), magazines, amusements, trav¬
eling to and from college, stationery
and supplies, cigarettes, fraternity and
sorority expenses, vacation and holi¬
day expenses (other than travel to
and from college), and furniture (lamps
and radios and so forth).

A similar survey is being conducted
at Yale by the Yale News,

Dance To Feature
“StormOf Color”

Carnival Ball Decorations
To Be Lighting - Effects
Of Two Giant Crystals

Featuring a “storm of color”, the
decorations for the 1939 Carnival ball
are being planned by Robert F. Pick¬
ard '40 and Lois D. Gillettte '40, chair¬
man and co-chairman of the event,

In cooperation with Mr. Louis'E. Tis¬
dale, of Leominster, Mass., the commit¬
tee is using two giant crystals, involv¬
ing over one ton of equipment. Each
of these crystals has eight thousand
mirrors which reflect vari-colored
beams that are played on them, giving
the effect of a severe snowstorm of
many-colored flakes.

Mr. Tisdale’s crystals have been a
part of the decoration scheme in many
of the colleges in the east, and were
recently used at Dartmouth college.

Programs of a simple design have
been ordered for the ball by the com¬
mittee, who are planning to have two
of them for each couple, contrary to
the usual custom of the Carnival com¬
mittee.

Pres, and Mrs. Paul D. Moody, Dean
and Mrs. John H. Patterson, Dean El¬
eanor S, Ross, and Prof, and Mrs.
Ennis B. Womack will be the chap¬
erones for the event.

Glenn Miller and his orchestra, fea¬
turing Marion Hutton as their vocal¬
ist, who will furnish the music for the
ball, are now playing at the Paradise,
in New' York. Recently he gained much
popularity playing at Amherst college,

If loyalty stands well toward the top in the list of life’s great¬
est assets, then Middlebury College has been indeed fortunate in
the service and devotion of those who, during the trying years
of the last quarter century and more, have been giving their best
to its upbuilding. That one and another of these should from time
to time throw the torch to those who are younger and stronger is
part of the order of things, and accepted however regretfully. The
losses by death during the last six months, however, have come
with such startling frequency that it has been difficult for many
of us to keep our bearings.

So it was, that when we were so suddenly confronted with
the news of Professor Burrage’s death, it seemed one more blow
that just could not be. And yet, to the writer, there is, beyond the
sense of present loss, the greater feeling of joy and gratitude for
a friendship of some thirty years. His was a rare nature! With
discriminating taste for the greatest and noblest in the realm of
the mind and the spirit, he had caught up into himself much of the
immortal genius of that Hellenic literature and culture to which
he dedicated his life. And above all there was his keen repartee
and ready wit; his joy in the company of his friends and associates
—a joy they ever reciprocated, and a wit impressed upon our
minds on many an occasion with an unforgettable vividness and
humor. William Barrage belongs by training and by nature among
God’s noblemen.

—PROF. RAYMOND H. WHITE.

BREAD AND WINE

Freshmen enter college for one of two reasons. One is to fit
themselves to be farmers, teachers, engineers or anything
that will provide “three squares” a day. The other is to observe
and absorb the gorgeous flowering of an ivory-towered culture.

The man who comes to college to fit himself to be some par¬
ticular thing has very likely mistaken college for a vocational
school. The courses that he takes lead directly to some special
duty that he will later have. He takes an education course a year
because that means state requirements are met. He un-artistically
and laboriously produces plates for mechanical drawing, to learn
how to draw a straight line and become a draftsman. The paradox
here is, that if he wanted to merely make living, he could probably
have earned it as well without a degree as with one. Also, the basis
for his philosophy was upon a negative thesis. He sees his duty to
society to be—“not to be a burden to it."

Those who regard college as their finishing school from
which the student will graduate with a proper sense of when to say
“yes and when “definitely,” have merely been wearing rosy col¬
ored glasses too long. Courses which have been condemned as im¬
practical decorate their schedule cards. They take music in order
to imitate the great masters for their own amusement. A keen in¬
terest is taken in art for the aesthetic thrill it arouses in their sens¬
itive natures. And literature provides them with a pleasant escape
from a too, too sordid existence into an imaginary world.

While the "bread” students see the purpose of college to be
closely connected with primary instincts, the “wine" students re¬
gard it as the inspiration for the “higher life.” Each of them has
arrived at part of the reason for a college education. If we cor¬
relate the two we see their inter-dependence. You can not have
“high thoughts” in a starving body. You could, of course, exist
on bread alone—but you could do that without four years of col¬
lege life. And from this we can see the real function of education—
to add to the abilit»v^o get a living, the ability to live well. To live
well involves more than either of the individualistic philosophies
offered. It involves the return of the obligation, to a society that
allows and supports the “collegiate class,” by making satisfactory
return through enlightened leadership or creative work.

Civil Service position: While many of
the United States Civil Service posi-1

Ample Evidence Shows Activity Of

Groups Planning Carnival Events

By Elizabeth M. Bradt '41

Middlebury's students glide down
chapel hill on skis because the red
flag is up and all are practicing un¬
der the instruction of Coach Arthur
Schlatter. But a red flag on the hill
is the smallest way in which Middle¬
bury has gone over to the Russians.

Even the most casual observer will
detect frequent notices such as "Mem¬
bers of the Co-sack chorus will report
to the gymnasium at 3:30." It is a
well known fact that certain of our
members are understudying the charac¬
ters of the Czar: the Czarina: their
daughter, the princess; and even the
captain of the palace guards.

If ever there was an under-current
in our scholastic life there is one now.
There are evidences of unrest in the
dormitory, the library and the bulle¬
tin board.

Bands of Reds shag through the halls
in a little off-schedule dancing prac¬
tice. We sigh as we attempt to wend
our way through the crowd of Russian
jitterbugs. Even the haven of all the
studious has been usurped. We get no
further than the door with our healthy
volume. A blast of song drives us back

as we hear someone shout. "Conif
on. gang. Swing it!"

We arrive at the browsing room tc
find floor room only. A try at the
Vermont room results in an embar-
assing withdrawal from a dance com-
inlttee meeting. The typing room and
the faculty room resound with ticket
reports and publicity plans. The Ab-
ernethy wing is full of other refugees
who found out first. Oh well, there
always used to be the library.

Studying seems to be taboo. We can
join a ski class or learn to paint
scenery. Our services could be
lent to almost any group that meets
in the senior seats after chapel in
order that plans may progress rapid-
ly.

I We may have been super-impervious
; but we have to give in to enthusiasm
In a movement as wide-spread as tills
j we cannot continue to lead our private¬
ly studious lives. The dormitories jitter
the hall becomes a jumping labyrinth
a maze of dance routines, the libe Is
taken over by committees; and the
I chapel notices urge practicing dancing
in ski boots. Time's a-wastlng! Car¬
nival is just seven days away.

Seniors To Have
Navy Examinations

Base Representatives Will
Show Movies and Have
Interviews with Students

Representatives of the U. S. Naval
Reserve Aviation base in Boston are
coming to Middlebury on February
15. The Base representative and Base
medical officer will spend the greater
part of that day in Middlebury for the
purpose of interviewing and tentatively
examining interested seniors and other
undergraduates who may be looking
forward to naval aviation.

It Ls not the policy of the depart¬
ment to encourage undergraduates to
leave college in order to apply for
training, but this visit furnishes an
opportunity for all who are interested
to secure information for future use
and the Base medical officers will
give preliminary flight physical exam¬
inations which might eliminate the in¬
convenience and expense of a needless
trip to the Naval Reserve Aviation
base.

The sound films. "Navy Wings of
Gold" and “Sky Fleets" will be shown
at 10:30 a. m. in Hepburn Social hall
for men who are free at that time,
and if there are others interested who
are otherwise engaged at that hour
a second showing can probably be ar¬
ranged at 3:30 p. m.

The Base representatives are expect¬
ed to arrive at 9 a. m. on February

Debaters To Face

Amherst On Friday

•—

Palmer ’39 and Leggett ’40
To He Middlebury Pair
In Oregon Type Contest

Friday at 8:00 p. m. the Middlebury
debating team will engage an Amherst i
duo in a non-decision debate in Mead
chapel. The question to be debated is:
“Resolved, that the United States
should cease to use public funds for
the purpose of stimulating business."

Middlebury, represented by Glenn
H. Leggett '40 and Phillips Palmer '39,
will take the affirmative. This will
be the second debate the college has
held with Amherst, and for the first
time in three years it will be conducted
on the Oregon plan.

According to this plan, Palmer will
give a fifteen minute resume of the
case for the affirmative side, followed
by a presentation of the negative case
by a member of the Amherst team.
Palmer will then be cross-examined
for ten minutes, and Leggett will
cross-examine the Amherst team. Fi¬
nally, Amherst will summarize the
negative case and Middlebury the af¬
firmative.

According to Prof. Perley C. Perk¬
ins, this debate is "one of the more in¬
teresting of the many types of de¬
bates; the cross-examination is like
a court room and it is interesting to
see how the debaters get out of diffi¬
culties.”

A Tempo Club Will Hold
Discussion of Art Song

"The Art Song" will be the topic of
the A Tempo club program at their
next meeting. This meeting will be
held Sunday in the music studio at
8 p. m.

Hazel M. Phelps '40, who is in charge
of this meeting, will read a short his¬
tory of the development of the art
song in different ages and different
countries.

Following this brief introduction,
members of the club will sing the art
songs of different countries. These
songs will be native ones of France,
Germany, England, Italy and America.

Professor Bryant
Dies After Illness

Yale Faculty Member Was
Chairman Forestry Board
For Middlebury College

Prof. Ralph Clement Bryant, of Yale,
who has been chairman of the forestry
advisory board of Middlebury college,
died of pneumonia last Wednesday
at the New Haven hospital, after an
illness of ten days.

Besides his advisory connection with
this institution, Professor Bryant was
granted an honorary degree of doc¬
tor of science, from Middlebury in
1928.

Professor Bryant served as a mem¬
ber of the faculty of the Yale School
of Forestry for thirty-two years. He
was a former president of the Society
of American Foresters.

He was described by Henry S. Graves,
dean of the Yale School of Forestry
as “a pioneer educator and leader in
his special field of lumbering in all
its economic and technological aspects."

A native of Princeton, Ill., and a
grand-nephew of William Cullen Bry¬
ant, Professor Bryant was the first
graduate of the College of For¬
estry at Cornell university in 1900. In
1907 the lumber manufacturers of the
country joined in giving an endowment
fund to the Yale School of Forestry
for educational work in applied forest¬
ry and lumbering. Professor Bryant
was chosen to fill that chair.

In his executive position in the So¬
ciety of American Foresters, he acted
as chairman of various committees
concerned with wood utilization prob¬
lems. He was the author of two text
books entitled "Logging” and “Lumber¬
ing.” In 1935 he was given an award
by the Oberlander trust of the Carl
Schurz Memorial foundation for the
study of the marketing of forest
products in Germany and Austria.

Prof. Frank W. Cady will address
members of the English club at the
home of Pres, and Mrs. Paul D. Moody
tonight at eight o'clock. His subject
will be "An Early Opinion of Robert
Frost”. The meeting, a regular one of
the group, is open only to English club
members,

Miss Charlotte Moody will speak to
the club on May 3.

In January, Mr. Sanford Cobb, pro¬
prietor of the Everyday Bookshop of
Burlington, discussed changes in read¬
ing tastes during the last twenty years,
at a meeting of the club.

Professor Freeman talked on "the
stream of consciouness” novel before
the club in December. He pointed out
the advantages and disadvantages of
this type of fiction and outlined it rise
from 1887 to the present day.

Dr. Stanley Williams of Yale uni¬
versity was the club's first lecturer of
the year. He chose Mark Twain as his
subject and discussed four phases of the
author before a group of English and
American literature majors.

MOUNTAIN CLUB HEADS
RUN SKI HIKE SUNDAY
ON BREADLOAF SLOPE

Sixty-five members of the Middle¬
bury Mountain club piled into trucks
last Sunday for an all day trip to
Breadloaf mountain and the first com¬
bination ski and snow shoe hike of
the season.

Plenty of powder snow on a well pack¬
ed base made for excellent conditions
on all the ski trails. Dinner was eat¬
en at the newly finished Cooperative
cabin at the base of the Slalom trails
and the open slope section. This cabin
is available for the use of the Moun¬
tain club.

The Mountain club has scheduled
no hikes for the next week and will
probably cut out all activities until af¬
ter the Carnival is over, as this or¬
ganization is responsible for the ef¬
fective functioning of the annual af¬
fair.

Top honors for participation in the
recently begun Middlebury campaign
against Japanese aggression in China
were awarded President Paul D. Moody
in chapel Saturday. The award, in the
form of a black ribbon, was made by
Carol S. Miner ’39.

Previous to the pinning of the ribbon
upon President Moody, Frederic R. In-
nes '40 spoke. Innes stated that because
of the interest shown by a large num¬
ber of students in this campaign rib¬
bons would be given for meritorious ser¬
vices.

Basis for the grant of a ribbon was
the writing of a protest letter to one’s
Congressmen, participation in the na¬
tional campaign, or otherwise giving
aid in this drive.

Already more than 200 of these rib¬
bons have been awarded, Innes stated.

Play Well Attended
By Students

Bv Talbot F. Hamlin '40

Nine years, viewed objectively, does
not seem like such a long time. But
there has been an awful lot of change
in nine years. “Anna Christie", shown
Friday afternoon and evening at the
Playhouse proved this.

Movie technique, for instance, has
advanced by leaps and bounds. The
crude lighting, crude studio-built wharf
exteriors ,and crude sound effects in
this film would not pass even in a
“horse opera" today. Women's clothes
have changed, too, as was evidenced by
the college's reception of Miss Garbo's
wardrobe. More important, public ideas
of morality have changed so much that
to us today the theme of the picture
seems outmoded and rather silly.

Garbo's First Talkie

But in this world of change, some
things are constant. One is Greta Gar¬
bo, "Anna Christie" was her first talk¬
ing film, and was awaited with appre¬
hension and doubt. Could this girl who
had been so successful on the silent
screen retain her popularity in sound?
When "Anna Christie" was advertised
under the heading “Garbo Talks", mo¬
vie-goers flocked to the theatres to
find out the answer to this question.
They came away satisfied. The talkies
had been truly successful. Their idol
had not fallen.

It is the same Garbo we know to¬
day, the same starry eyes, the same
husky voice, the same long sleek hair,
that we find in "Anna Christie”. More,
it is the same fine actress, Perfectly
at home in her part, she makes O'¬
Neill's heroine credible and real.

Players’ Accents Prominent

Miss Garbo is only one of many fine
actors in this rather fine motion pic¬
ture. On her side in the battle of dia-

with great good taste and care. He
knew the part well—he had played It
in the original stage production and
also in the 1923 silent version of the
picture. Arrayed against his and Miss
Garbo’s Swedish accents is the thick
brogue of Charles Bickford as Irish
Mat, Ann's lover. He too, is very con¬
vincing, when his role Is convincing.
At other times he does the best he
can with poor material. Marie Dressier,
who speaks good American drunk, is
on neutral ground.

Plot of Movie Simple

The story of "Anna Christie" Is simple
and effective, but to us today it is just
a little incredible. It is dated. But it
Is so well played that that is perhaps
not noticed. Certainly in the original
excitement of hearing their Swedish
grackle speak, the 1930 movie-goers did
not notice it. They probably did not
also notice some of Miss Garbo's ges¬
tures which are as typed today as her
famous "Ay tank Ay go home”. The
Friday audience did notice them, in
particular her “Vat’s the use?"; also
they noticed Mr. Marlon's* perpetual
cursing of the "Ole Debbll Sea". They
acted accordingly.

New *ound System Success

The film was a success, all things
considered. The Playhouse sound sys¬
tem was on its best behaviour. The
machine projects a large, clear picture,
and has the advantage of using reels
that run for forty minutes, The slight¬
ly muffled quality of the sound was.
probably due more to the age of the
film than anything else; it did not
dim the appreciation of the large au¬
diences.

"Anna Christie" was presented at
Mlddlebury by the department of
drama. It was filmed by Metro- Gold-
wyn-Mayer, directed by Clarence
Brown, and re-released by the Museum
of Modern Arts Film library.

Traditional Dance
Held By Scullions

Milton K. Lins ’38, Guest of
Honor; Edgar J. Wiley
In Role of Toast-Master

PLANS FOR LADIES
IN WAITING DANCE
ARE PROGRESSING

Middlebury's "formal" season was op¬
ened last Saturday night by the Scul¬
lion's Ball, held in Hepburn Social hall.
This year, under the direction of a com¬
mittee composed of John S. Van Dor-
en '39, Edgar R. Lawrence. ’41. John S.
Prukop ’42, and William D. Livingston
'42, the affair included informal danc¬
ing from five, to seven, a banquet with
toasts and speeches until nine and
formal dancing from nine to eleven-
thirty. This was the seventeenth of
a group of annual waiters' dances
begun in 1922, for only those men who
have waited table in Hepburn Com¬
mons.

The patrons and patronesses for the
dance were Pres, and Mrs. Paul D.
Moody, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Wiley, i
Dean and Mrs. John H. Patterson, Mr.
and Mrs. E. R. Fisher, Mrs. Janet W.
Kingsley, Miss Mary N. Bowles, and
Miss Mary C. Dutton.

The guest of honor at the dance was
was Mr. Milton K. Lins '38, who was
accompanied by Miss Harriet Coley '37.
Mr. Lins was the headwaiter of Hep¬
burn Commons for three years, until
his graduation last spring. He is now
teaching history in the New York Mil¬
itary academy.

During the banquet, Edgar J. Wiley j
ncted as toast-master. Mr. Wiley gave J
a short speech on the history of the [
Scullions Ball, then called upon guests
for short impromptu speeches. These j
were given by Miss Mary Dutton, Mr. j
Patterson, Mr. Lins, Mr. Van Doren,
Edward H. Yeomans '42, Eleanor L,
Jeschke '39, and Edith P. Egbert '39.
Freshmen volunteers waited on the
guests as has been the custom for
many years.

Decorations for the Hall were done
by Lawrence. They consisted in
red and white streamers radiating from
central points on the ceiling toward
the walls. At the far end of the hall
over the fireplace hung the traditional
Scullion platter. It had been lost for
a number of years but was found last
summer in the Hepburn attic. ‘

Programs for the dance were design¬
ed by Prukop and Harold I. Wyman '40.

Plans are progressing for this year's
Ladies in Waiting Ball according to
committee chairmen. The date of the
dance has been set for March 4.

Irma C. Fitzgerald '39 has been made
chairman of the dinner dance. Assist¬
ing her in making arrangements are
the following;

Geraldine M, Dansereau '40. in charge
of selecting an orchestra; Frances E.
Barrett. '39, chaperone committee chair¬
man; Mary H. Ladd ’39, in charge of
decorations; Dorothy J. Briggs '39,
planning the place cards; and Marjorie
N. Burditt '40 arranging for programs.

Miss Burditt has chosen to assist her
on her committee Edith B. Ladd '41,
Elsa C. Norgaard '41 and Nancy E. Hall
'42.

The dance beginning at 5 p. m. will
be held In Forest recreation hall. Din¬
ner will be served to the waitresses
and their guests in Forest hall dining
room.

Tills year the Ladies in Waiting Ball
will be open only to women who have
been contracted by the college as regu¬
lar or substitute waitresses.

About fifty couples attended this af¬
fair last year. Josephine M. Minder
'38 was chairman of the ball which was
held February 6.

W. A. A.

On Friday afternoon the W. A. A.
showed a basketball film dealing with
basektball and basketball techinque in
Warner hemicycle. The film showed
personal and technical fouls and viola¬
tions in slow motion.

This picture was a part of the W. A.
A. basketball program. Women’s bas¬
ketball practices have been going on for
several weeks, and the first inter-class
game was held Friday. The Junior I j
and II teams played the Freshman I and
II teams. Junior I downed Freshman
I 27-19, while Junior II lost by default j
to Freshman II.

TWO-PIANO PIECES
FORM PROGRAM OF
SUNDAY MUSICALE

Dr. Henry Hallam Tweedy D. D.

Speaks At Vespers On Prayer

Bv Elinor It. Wleland '39

On Sunday evening Cameron Mc-
Graw '40 and Barbara Kitson present¬
ed a two-piano recital at one of the
series of twilight musleales sponsored
by the A Tempo club.

Their first group consisted of Bach
numbers. Of the three two-part inven¬
tions, Numbers Eight, Nine, and Ten;
the first and last showed olf to fine
advantage the dexterity of the two
pianists and the middle one their mas¬
tery of legato, phrasing as well as
their ability to obtain a beautiful tone.
The latter feature of their playing
was again displayed in "Sheep May
Safely Graze" from one of Bach's can¬
tatas.

As the second group on the pro¬
gramme a group of five Brahms' wal¬
tzes from the Liebeslieder, opus 52
were recreated, not only with all tech¬
nical skill but with a feeling for the
mood of each.

A modern note was injected into
the programme with the playing of
H. Balfour Jardiner's "Noel", famil¬
iar to those who heard Mr. Charles
Naegele last November.

Two movements, andante and sch¬
erzo, from a Brahms sonata, opus 34,
originally written for a quintet, closed
the programme. In this work as in all
others one noticed the perfect coordin¬
ation of the two performers as well as
their depth of understanding and ab¬
ility to interpret the compositions.

Speaking on the subject of prayer,
from the scripture reading Matthew 6:
5-15, Dr. Henry Hallam Tweedy D. D.,
of the Yale Divinity School preached
In vespers last Sunday. This is Dr.
Tweedy's second visit to the college
this academic year.

Dr. Tweedy opened his sermon by
observing that the characters of men
and women are shown by their prayers.
An account of prayer through the ages
would be, he said, a history of the
world.

Ear): 1 Conception of Prayer
Our forefathers considered prayer
a method of getting God to give them
things they wanted. It was a “wrest¬
ling with God", it was teasing God
until he gave in, and granted them their
requests. The Bible characters prayed
for the capturing of the city, marched
around it and blew their trumpets,
and if the walls didn't fall down it
was because their prayers hadn't been
correctly expressed, or of sufficient
length.

L»r. Tweedy told the students first
what he didn't think prayer was. Pray¬
er is not informing God of our needs; for
God already knows them. It is not
begging him for things which he will
give us when, and only if, we pray.
Quoting Dr. Fosdick. prominent New
York preacher, he said that God is
not a "cosmic errand boy" who when
we press a button, the button of pray¬
er, will obey our wishes,

Prayer, to Dr. Tweedy, is living. If

we pray for one thing, and live anoth¬
er, we are hypocrites and liers. He cite l
the example of a fellow traveler on
a diner, who ate hts food without chew¬
ing it. He was praying for indigestion,
and all night spent on his knees ask¬
ing for relief would do no good, for
his life and actions had prayed differ¬
ently. We can not ask God to help
others, and expect by some mlraclous
way they will be aided. We must, as a
friend of Dr. Tweedy said, pray that
God help us to bless others. In this
way, our spoken prayer is not a lie,
for our living prayer is the same as
the spoken prayer.

Heal Meaning Explained

Dr. Tweedy recommended the meth¬
od of a philosopher among his acquain¬
tances who in the morning went apart
by himself and opened his soul to
thoughts on the blessing of God, and
meditated on the duties of the day
ahead of him. During the day he
tried to live as he had meditated in
the morning and at night he could
pray sincerely, a prayer of gratitude
for the blessings of the day, a prayer
for assistance in living the days ahead.
If we follow this example, Dr, Tweedy
concluded, we are praying by our liv¬
ing, and that is the real meaning of
prayer.

"Judge Me, o God," a composition
of Felix Mendelssohn, was offered by
the college choir under the direction
of Prof. H. Wqt'd Bedford at the ves¬
pers service.

Women Will Compete in
Snow Sculpture Contest

ADDISON COUNTY
TRUST CO.

For the first time, the Winter Car¬
nival program will Include a women’s
snow sculpture contest between the sev¬
en sororities and the neutral women,
according to Jean M. Sweeney '40.

According to the usual strict rules in
a contest of this sort, only snow and
water can be used in the sculpture.
After the designs have been chosen,
work will begin at the spot selected by
each group for their master-piece.
Sculptures will be placed in front of
Forest Hall, Battell, Hillcrest and on
the field across from Forest Hall.

The judges for this have not yet
been announced, but they will pass
their opinion on the works of art on
February 17. The prize for this con¬
test, a cup, will be awarded at the
Klondike Rush on February 18.

For many years, there has been a
contest in snow sculpturing for the
men’s fraternities and neutral body,
but the same type of contest for the
women is an Innovation this year.
